That the proposed development would be contrary to Policies HOU6, ENV2, ENV8 and TOU10 of the Adopted Garnock Valley Local Plan and Policy BE5 and the Development Control Statement of the Finalised North Ayrshire Local Plan (Excluding Isle of Arran) in that by reason of its scale, siting, design and external appearance, the proposed development would: (i) detract from the setting of Redheugh House which is a Category B listed building; (ii) not be in keeping with the scale and character of existing developments in the area; and (iii) result in the loss of mature trees within an area where a Tree Preservation Order is in force, which would be detrimental to the character and amenity of the area.

    NORTH AYRSHIRE COUNCIL Planning Committee Locality Irvine Reference 20/00725/PPM Application Registered 3rd September 2020 Decision Due 3rd January 2021 Ward Irvine East Recommendation Approved subject to Conditions __________________________________________________________________ Location Site to NE of Littlestane Cottage, Lochlibo Road, Girdle Toll, Irvine Applicant Dawn Homes Limited Proposal Residential development comprising the erection of 92 detached and semi-detached dwelling houses with associated infrastructure including the formation of vehicular access from Sourlie Roundabout, the realignment of existing roads, the formation of footpaths, provision of open space, SuDS and landscaping works ___________________________________________________________________ 1. Description Planning permission is sought for a major residential development on greenfield agricultural land to the north east of Girdle Toll and west of Lawthorn in Irvine. The 6.2ha site is roughly rectangular in shape and lies to the east of the Sourlie Roundabout, which forms the junction of Lochlibo Road and Cairnmount Road (A736). The site is bisected by a single track rural road which follows a north easterly alignment from its junction with the Old Toll House on Lochlibo Road towards the open countryside beyond the town boundary. Between Sourlie Roundabout and the single track road, the site consists of a gently sloping field which now appears to be disused, although was known to be used for silage production in previous years. The field is bounded by well-defined broadleaved hedgerows and there is a narrow woodland belt along its western boundary with the A736. To the east of the single track road is a well-maintained grass field on sloping ground that is currently used for sheep grazing.

  • Kilwinning-Abbey-By-Ja-Ness.Pdf
    John Ness was a keen local historian with a large collection of papers, books, pamphlets, charts and letters about Kilwinning and district, but being before the days of computers and the Internet, collating and editing this booklet would surely have meant many long hours searching through piles of books and notes. It was originally published in 1967, no doubt as part of the Abbey Church’s 400th anniversary celebrations (albeit a year or two late if the dates are correct), and was one of only a few collected sources of information about the Abbey. Of course, it is now long out of print and only a few dog-eared copies exist in libraries, but now it is accessible to the public once more. To make it easier to read on a computer screen, it hasn’t been recreated in its completely original form, but I have more or less kept the same layout. I made a few minor changes, adding a few commas here and there to make the sometimes slightly awkward sentence construction easier to read. If something reads a little strangely to modern eyes, that was the author’s style. Also, I corrected a very few obvious printing errors, and standardised words and phrases that were in bold type for no good reason. Full- or half-page photos which were in the middle of the booklet are now placed at the end. This is not meant as an academic work, so if anyone reads a statement which they believe is inaccurate or just plain wrong, the mistake is not mine.

  • Guide to Wemyss Bay 1879
    Guide to Wemyss Bay, Skelmorlie, Inverkip, Largs and surrounding districts . – Published 1879 This download text is provided by the McLean Museum and Art Gallery, Greenock - © 2009 WEMYSS BAY. Although included in the quoad sacra Parish of Skelmorlie, Wemyss Bay is a separate group of houses, lying on the north side of the railway station, and, like Skelmorlie, is a watering-place of modern origin. The houses, numbering in all about 20, are irregularly built in a bay, with a beautiful beach gently sloping down to the water's edge, and securely sheltered from the north and east winds by a range of well-wooded heights. At either extremity, the bay is bounded by red sandstone rocks of irregular appearance, worn and honey-combed by the action of the waves. “A considerable extent of the beach to the north of the bay is also composed of this same red sandstone, intermingled with a coarse conglomerate and dykes of trap, but in several places it relaxes into a kind of rough gravel or shingle, which forms a convenient footing for the bather, and affords an easy launching place for small fishing boats, and other kindred craft.” Originally, Wemyss Bay formed part of the Ardgowan estate, (Sir Michael Shaw Stewart's), and was given to Wallace of Kelly in return for the lands of Finnock, in the year 1814. Kelly was sold in two distinct and nearly equal portions,—Mr. Scott of Glasgow purchasing the one (Kelly portion), and Mr. Wilsone Brown (also of Glasgow) being the purchaser of the other. The latter built the Castle (Castle Wemyss), and feued several portions of the ground, but was obliged to sell in the year 1860, when Mr.

Minutes Confirmed The Minutes of the Meeting of the Committee held on 25 April 1997, copies of which had previously been circulated, were confirmed. 2. Draft Programme for Scottish Homes Investment in North Ayrshire Submitted report by the Director of Housing Services on the draft Programme for Joint Investment by the Council and Scottish Homes in North Ayrshire. The Council agrees a programme of investment each year with Scottish Homes to address the priorities set out in the Strategic Agreement. The investment also contributes toward fulfilling other Council objectives such as the regeneration of town centres and the development of an attractive and sustainable environment. The resources available to Scottish Homes for investment have, however, been reduced and it is estimated that less than £3m will be available for investment by Scottish Homes in North Ayrshire in 1997/98. The level of future resource allocations to Scottish Homes remains unclear.
